lumia 920 died, at least every 2 days.

i'm the proud owner of lumia 920, but also out of idea's on how to keep my lumia 920 "alive".

for couple of times, after a decent charge, i check the phone, and go to bed.

and in the morning, every 3 days, it's black, and i have to soft-reset it, and ffs i'm tired of it.

yesterday i decided to reset the phone, and i did, did a little backup, and started fresh, and no apps being installed, and still, this morning had to reset again.

i had problem with the reception, but after i tested and change settings, i not get fullblast on the reception bar, it's my provider fault, not the OS or the phone itself.

my device seems to come from vodafone, sim free. and yes i have the portico update, and i really hope a major update is on the way, soon.

the OS is maybe top of the line in terms of tech capabilities, but lot's of things needs to be polished\added.

yesterday i hold SG3, a very good device, but ANDROID seems a bit messy compared to wp8, still it's much more mature, and has endless apps, but i just can't give up the UI experience and move to ANDROID.

if someone knows about a solid solution, please, share.

all best to all neowin members.

I've got a Black Lumia 920 as well which is an absolutely amazing phone but the lack of top applications on iOS and Android Markets, was really bothering me. So till the time WP8 platform catches up with the apps I have purchased a Chinese 5 inch Phablet as well for about USD 150, which serves as a brilliant secondary and actually third phone as well since its dual sim and looks just like a Samsung Note II.

And concerning ur problem with the lumia, i think u should consult Nokia and probably get it exchanged or something.

nokia support? no i didn't, i searched&found the issue in multiple forums, and they published all kind of steppes nokia support told them to do. so i thought why go through all the waiting and e-mailing for the exact same answers.

i wish microsoft\nokia would announce the issue as "top priority", and publish news about the progress of the solution.

just to keep people out of the dark, and to let them know they care.

saw someone who flashed the device, but im not willing to do so, i'm afraid to kill my phone, indefinitely.

mine was doing that too until one day it wouldn't reset at all. at&t replaced it at no cost. granted, i was outside the 14 day grace period to get a new one in the store and had to wait 3 days until the replacement arrived via usps. the replacement may be a refurbished unit but it has performed much better than the original phone did.

You will need the Nokia Software Updater for Retail to flash the latest firmware to your Nokia phone. There are many sites advertising this software but all of them that I found require registration and/or downloading of additional software.

You can download the working retail version 2.0.6 here: http://jkorondy.com/Lumia920 -- without registration and without any additional garbage software. It will update itself to 3.0.4 (or the most current version). I have run it on Windows 8 and Windows 7, connected to my unlocked Lumia 920 (RM-821_apac_philippines_388) and it works great. Firmware updated and it hasn't shut down since! :-) Please consider donating to the site owner -- I did because it saved my expensive Lumia 920 phone.
